Olalab Studio | Photography and Visual Storytelling in Amsterdam
Gentle, natural portraits that honour this season of becoming
Pregnancy is one of life’s most powerful transitions. Your body is changing, your world is shifting, and this season deserves to be remembered with care.
Maternity sessions are gentle, slow paced, and centred around you. We work in your home or outdoors, using natural light and simple guidance so you can relax, feel seen, and honour this moment before everything changes.
Every season of motherhood carries its own kind of magic. This one is about anticipation, transformation, and quiet strength. These photographs are a way to hold on to it all! The glow, the waiting, the love that is already here.
No two pregnancies are alike; your session shouldn’t be either. Whether we’re capturing the quiet intimacy of your home or the soft glow of golden hour, we create images that feel like an extension of you.
Forget the “smile for the camera” pressure. We focus on the quiet, unscripted moments that truly capture how this time feels to live in.
Secure your date through the online tool and receive a curated guide with styling tips to help you feel effortless and prepared.
We move at your pace with natural light. I’ll guide you into simple, honest movements so you never feel like you’re "performing."
Within 48 hours, you’ll receive a curated preview of 24 images to select your favorites. You always have the option to upgrade your package if you find you love them all.
Once edited, select your final digital files or museum-grade fine art prints and albums to hold your memories forever. No pressure. I guide you if you want help choosing.
Thank you for the great maternity session and the lovely photobook! Really a nice souvenir to think back about it!

I was truly impressed by the way she captured not just photos, but the whole atmosphere. Carola from OLA LAB has an incredible eye for detail and an aesthetic vision that makes you feel at ease and seen.
On top of that, the gallery was beautifully curated and delivered in a way that felt so thoughtful.

These photographs are quiet time capsules of a season you will never live twice. Each session is designed with care, allowing you to choose the experience and keepsakes that resonate most with your story.
The timing: Maternity sessions are best captured between weeks 28–34, when your bump is beautifully visible and movement still feels effortless. As weekend dates are limited, I recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred time.
Location & travel: I offer complimentary travel within Amsterdam, Amstelveen, and Diemen. For sessions in Haarlem and beyond, a small travel fee applies to bring the experience to your doorstep.
Once your session is complete and your photographs are ready, a new chapter begins. This is the moment when memories take form, in fine art albums, soft velvet books, or carefully wrapped print collections. Each piece is handcrafted using materials chosen for their warmth and longevity, turning your images into heirlooms that can be touched, opened, and passed on.
Your photographs deserve to live beyond the screen, to become part of your home and your family’s story.
You do not need to decide anything now. After you have seen your gallery, you can choose how you would like to keep this chapter close.
Heirloom albums from €120
Handcrafted with care, each album is made by skilled artisans and finished with delicate materials chosen for their timeless beauty.
